Abstract
The preservation of forest ecosystems is a critical component of global environmental sustainability, particularly under conditions of accelerating climate change. This study assesses the sensitivity of forest ecosystems in the Imereti region of Georgia to climatic variability and anthropogenic pressures. Using indicator-based analysis, including forest fire frequency and forest area dynamics, the research identifies key threats such as rising temperatures, increased drought frequency, pest outbreaks, and forest degradation. The findings indicate a high level of ecosystem vulnerability and highlight the urgent need for sustainable forest management strategies.
Keywords: Forest ecosystems; Climate change
